My Take
I think this is a great tool for math classes. The graphing calculator allows students to visualize any function they are working with and compare multiple functions on the same screen. There are multiple calculators available and a space to construct and transform geometric figures. The Desmos online curriculum provides four grades worth of activities that show applications of concepts with engaging visuals. These also allow students to compare their reasoning to their classmates' after submitting certain answers.
How I Use It
This could be used to show students visual representations of the math concepts they are learning. The graphing calculator can be used by students to check their work with equations.

Highly customizable and quick to use
Since this teaching tool is completely online, it's very accessible to students and all setup required is just going to the website. Rather than downloading a calculator so that I can display visuals of certain equations, I can put them up with ease. The tool is fast and streamlined but does take a bit of getting use to, to utilize it at its full potential. However, its still a great tool and worth it to learn as an educator, and to teach to students.

Great visual to teach math concepts
I believe that this tool makes it easier to show a visual perspective for mathematical concepts and how different types of equations look on the graph. I liked that it is an easy software to learn and utilize. It is also accessible for anyone to use and does not cost extra money, so students can use it as support when learning and completing classwork.
